linking of the nodes

Mr.A is our beloved MD teacher. If you haven’t met him, then you have missed out on a conceited and unearthly creature. If you have met him after my recommendation..then well it was only a recommendation. At the end of the day, it was your pick.
So we all have been taught to mug up things, so that they remain on your finger tips. And it is no different with application of cast iron, used in compression. Remember it as C-C (the former C for cast iron, the latter one for compression). Wish I had attended (physical presence is what im referring to..my mind is never there in the class) those relentlessly tedious lectures.
So here it was, my first lecture of MD, his was..ammm..im bad at triple digit numbers.
Hooks material: the blistering topic of discussion.
Question: what is the material of hooks? God!! why do I ever listen to my friends' half baked answers?
Charged as I was (after all it was my first class), I announced uproariously(my friend’s awnswer): Cast iron
A: 'khade ho jao guneet. From which company woood you get it?'
Me: 'sir..mm..Jindal Steel..'
A: 'achha..you woood get a pink slip if you join the company on the very phirst day'
Me: 'why so..?is it coz its a steel company and so it wouldnt make cast iron????'
A: 'so that means you havnt attended my C-C lecture?'
Me: 'mm..carbon copy..?'
Who said there isn’t any short cut to success? When it comes to MD there are, myriad of them. Wish i had realized this earlier..sob sob..

you were a whiff of air


the story started something like this
from the top of a cliff,
standing there, looking at the world beneath
everything gave me a notion of it being swift.

may be that was my ignorance to the world
that was standing right there in front of me,
or my very own self indulgent world
that was more than enough to suffice me.

a sudden rush of wind brushed past my ears
tried hard to whisper what I couldn't hear,
perturbed by its unexpected emergence and hustle
there was a strong feeling of an upcoming tussle.

the stronger it became with each passing second
the better I could make its presence reckon,
feeling its every brush with my hair
I wondered whether it was actually for real.

sometimes it was fierce, cold and strong
sometimes it was tender, velvety and soft,
sometimes I loathed its fierce temperament
sometimes I feared its predicament.

seconds passes by, minutes died a slow death
hours lasted till the eternity's final breath,
with every passing moment that it was there
I could feel a whiff of pleasant air.

but then all in the while that it subsisted
I couldn't think of its non existence,
and then when finally I stand there again
I get a sudden rush of feeling that was sane!!

Life is like that...


There are times when you take an often travelled road to reach your destination but often landing up on a no man's zone which is no where near to where you wanted to reach. There are times when you buy a new dress, just on the basis of its tag, its 'in-quotient', its dirt cheap price or whatever, only to realize later that it could never be worn again and its going to spend its rest of the life in your overflowing cupboard. There are times when you give into the demands of your taste buds, overindulge in all those guilty pleasures and only later to realize the repercussions of overindulgence when the needle of the weighing machine has to bend itself hard to give you a glimpse of your fat. There are times when you start reading a novel purely by being fascinated it by its book cover and after browsing through 10 odd of its pages you realize that you have found a perfect pill for your sleeping disorder.

There are times when tried and tested things go horribly wrong; when rather than discovering your true calling, you go by what others say; when the materialistic beauty is more than enough for you to pin it down to your final choice and when you purely give in to the demands and the pressure of your surroundings.

And there are times when you don't know where your life is heading to, whether it’s all that you had actually longed for. But when you actually get it, you feel like ‘Boy!! This was unexpected but still I am loving it :D’

Life is like that, where things you disliked at the first sight, activities that you found boring and people whom you loathed earlier become a reason for you to look ahead and forward with all that positivity!!

Its uncertain, unthinkable, unpredictable, inconsistence, erratic, spontaneous, fussy, unstable, impulsive and these are the very things I love it for :D.
